Some ethernet controllers, such as cadence's macb, have an embedded MDIO. For this reason, the ethernet PHY nodes are not under an MDIO bus, but directly under the ethernet node. Since these drivers might use of_mdiobus_child_is_phy(), we should fix this function by returning false if a fixed-link is found.
